Yes, when adding equations to interactions in WeVideo, instructors can add alternative text as labels to the equations using the equation editor in the rich text editor. When learners access the interactive video with a screen reader, the alternative text will be read aloud.

Plan and role requirements for adding alternative text to equations in WeVideo Interactivity
All instructors and administrators with a WeVideo Instructor or Organizational license can access the WeVideo Interactivity to create interactive videos and add alternative text to equations when inserting them into the interaction.
Learners and students can access the rich text editor to add equations and alternative text when answering Free Response interactions or taking the Learner-Made Interactive Video assignment. Please note that learners will not be able to access the rich text editor when answering the Fill-in-the-blank interactions and therefore cannot insert equations with alternative text.
